Abstract
Butterflies act as bioindicators of habitat
change and plant pollinators. The aim of this research is to determine the
composition and inventory of butterfly feed and host plants in the Bodogol
Nature Conservation Education Center Area, Mount Gede Pangrango. The research
was conducted from March to June 2022 in two habitats, namely heterogeneous
forests and homogeneous forests. Observations of butterflies and plants were
carried out using a 700 m transect method with observations of 10 m left and
right. Observations were carried out at 08.00 - 12.00 WIB. In each habitat,
observations were made on three routes, 2 times. Total observation 12 days. 419
individuals and 93 species of butterflies were found in both habitats, while
for plants 42 species were found in 22 families, namely: Asteraceae,
Apocynaceae, Palmaceae, Balsaminaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, Iridaceae,
Lamiaceae, Malvaceae, Melastomaceae, Moraceae, Phyllanthaceae, Pinaceae , Poaceae,
Rubiaceae, Sapindaceae, Selaginellaceae, Solanaceae, Theaceae, Verbenaceae,
Acanthaceae, Lamiaceae are known to interact with butterfly species as host
plants and food plants. Plant species from the Asteraceae family are found in
abundance compared to other families.
